Assuming your mobile is in the US have her send to:
+15554441212
To get the + on the mobile you will likely hit * twice. The 1 is the US country code. The rest is your mobile's area code and phone number.

If + countrycode number doesn't work for you, it could be a restriction on your phone service and you will have to call in to customer service to get it unleashed.
Or perhaps you have verizon which doesn't seem to send internationally (and to lots of Americans numbers).
US cell phone companies blow compared to their international cousins.

Alternative.. her cell phone should have an email address. Add her email to your phone's email (which, to my understanding is HUGE in Korea) and just email her...

You need latest version of the software, I believe.
Sorry, I also should have mentioned that SMS messages aren't free, but they're relatively cheap.
